It was amazing place I stay in BKK so far. I travel a lot to bKK and usually stay there more than one month. BTS ARI is a nice community to explore, you could find very good cafe( I recommend FAB cafe and Frank),and you should try the japan restaurant which close to common cafe, they even offer you fresh wasabi,the lunch set less than 400B. For nightlife is not like thonglor area, here more local, you could find good cocktail here (Frank, fatbird,salt...all of it you could walk to). And when you arrive ari soi 5, you can find more restaurant..you don't have to take BTS, Just around this area you won't be boring in 1 month. Oh! BTW it havs a street shop for fried chicken near 7-11 on soi 1, which is very good but they only open around 4pm....
